WWHP (softly) Opens to the Public!
It was in February
when Universal started offering Wizarding World theme park packages to
the public. Those packages were good for travel to the Wizarding World
from May 28th onward.
Many assumed that the May 28th package date meant that the theme park
would be open by then. That speculation was proved wrong when Universal
announced the
June 18th grand opening.
HOWEVER, those who purchased packages between May 28th and June 18th
were promised a "Harry Potter experience" by Universal. Those promises
are now being fulfilled, as fans who purchased early Wizarding World
packages were allowed access to the park for two hours this morning.
By the looks of things, the park was in full swing. WDWInfo.com
has a huge gallery of photos from this morning's opening, and the
Orlando Sentinel has
this report featuring some of the guests who were in attendance.
The report also has a small review of the landmark Harry Potter and the
Forbidden Journey ride.
InsideTheMagic.net now has video and photos from within the park - they provide our best look yet!
